Mr. Raymond Kenneth Walker (Ken) passed away peacefully June 5, 2025 at the age of 87.  Ken was born in Kamloops, BC, July 18, 1938.  He grew up on his parent’s ranch helping with the chores.  In 1955 the family sold the ranch due to a farming injury to his father William Walker.  The family moved to Moyie, BC where they purchased a Pacific 66 station and log cabins.  Ken finished his schooling in Cranbrook, BC.  After high school he travelled and worked his way across Canada doing odd jobs.  In 1962 he arrived in Winnipeg, MB where he worked at the CP Rail office, then got married to Adeline and had son James S. Walker.  Life got messy, things happened, and Ken moved on.  He moved from city to city, job to job and was a jack of all trades.  In 1976 he stepped in to help raise his brother’s children, moving the family constantly trying to chase a dream.  Finally, he settled in Cranbrook, BC to be with his aging parents.  In 1994 he met Nancy and got married.  Due to health issues, they moved to Sorrento, BC to be closer to Kelowna for Nancy’s medical treatments.  They found their community and forever home.  When Nancy passed, Ken stayed.  He turned his yard into a wonderful, interesting garden and shared his love of gardening with anyone who showed an interest.  His dog Lucky was always at his side and you could see him on his scooter driving to town with Lucky in tow.  He was active in his church and enjoyed the dog park and bingo.  He always insisted on being early for everything. His hobby for clocks turned into a major collection and obsession.  He was a loyal friend for all who knew him.  Ken leaves to mourn sister Sharon (Ross), niece Deborah Domin and Rodney Domin.
